JOBMASTER Human Capital Solutions

What JOBMASTER Human Capital Solutions does

JOBMASTER Human Capital Solutions is an Egypt-based HR consultancy and talent solutions provider founded in 1995 in Cairo. The firm operates across the MENA region with offices in Cairo (headquarters), Dubai (UAE regional hub, since 2007), and Riyadh (Saudi Arabia), and reports project delivery in Egypt, UAE, KSA, Libya, Qatar, and Sudan. Its core service lines are HR Consultancy (competency framework design, organizational design, HR function management), Recruitment Solutions, People Assessment Solutions (using internationally accredited and proprietary tools), and HR Learning & Development (CIPD, CPD, and JMDA-certified workshops). Supporting offerings include a proprietary Salary & Benefits Survey with 2,500+ data points, a Job Evaluation Tool (JET), competency modeling frameworks, assessment centre design, and development centres for high-potential identification.

The company's revenue model is professional services–driven: bespoke, quote-based engagements for consultancy and assessment work, plus fees from public workshops, in-house corporate training, certification programs, and tailored salary survey reports. It goes to market through direct enterprise field sales targeting corporate HR and C-suite buyers, supported by content marketing (HR Library, blog, case studies), workshops, and industry events. Strategic partnerships extend its capability set without in-house buildout: Riverwaves supplies BPS-accredited assessment tools, Signium provides executive search, Dale Carnegie delivers training methodologies, and Oakwood International enables CIPD certification delivery in Egypt. Since 2020, JOBMASTER has operated within the Global Impact Consulting Group (GICG) consortium alongside these partners, and in December 2025 it launched a Centre of Excellence (COE) platform to centralize access to its certification programs. The company is privately held, founder/management-controlled, with 51–100 employees and no disclosed external funding.
